THE UNITED MERCANTILE and TRA VELLERS' ASSOCIATION and LIFE ASSURANCE SO. CIETY, for Granting of Aliment Money in Case of Sickness, and securing Annuities to Aged Travellers, and Endowments to their Wi dows and Children; and establishing a Charitable Relief Fund for the benefit of Distressed Commercial Travellers, Clerks, and Buyers in Wholesale Trades ; and for mutual Assurance of Lives and Survivor. hips, and the Purchase and Sale of Reversionary Property and Interests. To no class of persons are the advantages of Life Assurance so ap. plicable, and yet so little maturely considered and appreciated, as by Commercial Travellers. It is, indeed, a matter of surprise, that amongst so numerous and influential a body of men, possessing adequate incomes, and of increasing responsibility and importance, no Society on the basis of Mutual Assurance has been formed, for providing against the casual.. ties of being deprived of health, or being incapacitated by age from pursuing their previous avocation. This Society has originated with commercial men, sensible of the importance of Assuring, to meet such possibilities ; to provide a Property for themselves, their Widows, and Children against the vicissitudes of life ; and especially for the purpose of establishing, from a portion of the profits of the Society, a perma. nent Fund for the Relief of Distressed Travellers, and those en. gaged in Commercial pursuits. Tables are preparing, wider the sanction of eminent mathematicians and experienced actuaries, to provide, on the principle of Mutual Assur. ance, by payment of given premiums— Of an income in case of sickness. Of an Annuity, to commence at a given age, or the receipts of a cer. tain sum in lieu of such Annuity ; or a sum at death to the Assured, or to the widow or child or children of the Assured. Other Tables will be formed, on the most approved and desirable scale, for general Assurance of Lives and Survivorships, embracing all contingencies incident to life. The premiums will be on the lowest possible scale, consistent with the stability of the Society. Although the Society will confine the Assurers, on the provision in case of sickness, to Commercial Travellers, Clerks, and Buyers of Whole sale Merchants and Traders, yet the advantages connected with this Society hold out to the public at large the benefit of Assurance on Lives and Survivorships, or contingencies dependent on the duration of human life, equal, if not greater, than other establishments. The Society, basing its operations on the strictest principles of economy, relies on the support of the Mercantile Interest, and especially on the Commercial Travellers, by whose exertions the objects of the Society may he extended to an unprecedented extent. The fune.s of the Society will be vested in the names of Trustees of the first rank, and the management placed with Directors, to be chosen from Merchants and Principals of Houses in London, of influence, re spectability, and wealth. Local Committees will, in like manner, be formed at Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Bris tol, and Norwich. One-fifth of the whole profits of the Society, at the end of every year after the first fire years, are to be 'divided on equitable principles— four-fifths amongst the Assured of five years' standing, in reduction of premiums ; and one.fifth for the establishment of a fund to be applied solely for the charitable relief of decayed or distressed Commercial Travellers and Mercantile Men, as well as any funds derived from do nations, bequests, or other charitable subscriptions. The importance of this Society must be evident to all engaged in mer. cantile pursuits; and the Society looks with confidence to the co-opera tion of Gentlemen of rank and influence throughout England, in pro moting its prosperity; and who are invited to permit their names to be added to the Provisional Committee, already formed in Landon, for carrying the objects of the Society into immediate operation. All communications are requested to be made by Letter, post paid, addressed to the Honorary Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Society, No. 2, Great Carter-lane, Doctors' Commons. J. S.

ABINET UPHOLSTERY, and BEDDING, N.... 1 at the CABINET-MAKERS' SOCIETY, 71, LEADEN HALL-STREET, Enrolled agreeably to Act of Parliament ; being real manufacturers in all its branches. The system upon which this is conducted precludes the possibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as not any house in London can manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thorougly understood, that they do not receive hawked or other goods for sale, like the bazaars and haberdashers ; but they make every article themselves, which enable them confidently to warrant their goods of the very best materials. If any fault appear it will be made good, free of all charge for twelve months. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and decided advantages of purchasing at this establish ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the support of industrious mechanics, the funds of which p rov id e f or its members in old age and burial, they therefore sincerely hope that their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.

THE ZINCED or GALVANIZED IRON COMPANY. Capital £250,000, in Shares of £2O each. Deposit £1 per Share. The principle involved in the galvanization of metals, and the appli cability of zinc to protect iron from oxidation, has long been known to the scientific world. Several of the most eminent philosophers and chymists of Europe have recognised its accuracy, and have bestowed great labour, time, and attention on the subject, the object being the practical adaptation of the discovery to purposes of public benefit and general utility. This desideratum has been accomplished, and the promoters of this Company, confident of the vast advantage that would accrue to the ma ritime, commercial, and manufacturing interest of the empire by the general introduction and use of zinced or galvanized iron, as also of the efficiency and originality of the process which will be employed by the Managers of the Company for the protection of metals against oxidation, are satisfied that they can enter into economical and successful rivalry with every other establishment aiming at the tame object. The manufacture of zinc, or speltre, has long had their most devoted consideration, and the smelting and manufacture of iron in all its varie ties, is a branCh of commerce in which they were educated. In the manufacture of zinc they have arrived at an important prat'- . tical improvement, by which the metal produced is fully equal to the German, by which the price of production is materially diminished, and by which the quantity of ceal required in the smelting of the olende is greatly reduced; thus effecting economy of time, labour, and fuel, a feature equally affecting the interests of the manufacturer as of the consumer of one of the principal staples of commerce. Assisted by some eminent practical chymists, they have made a series of experiments, proving the value and accuracy of the principle of gal vanization, and its general applicability to all cases where iron requires protection against oxidation, whether by exposure to atmospheric damp or immersion. The value of the discovery, and its general utility, have already been tested in France, by the high premiums which the shares in the zinced and galvanized metal Companies have borne and sustained in the Parisian market, and no doubt can he entertained that in this great commercial and maritime nation, where the economical application of the principle must prove so eminently beneficial, the object accomplished will be likewise sustained by public approbotion and support. A detailed prospectus is in preparation, and will speedily be published. Applications for the remaining shams to be made by letters, post paid, addressed to the Provisional Committee of Management, at 31, St. Swithin's.lane. JAMES WILSON, Secretary.

On Monday evening part of a hay mow, in the marshes near Merrifield, the property of Mr. Vosper, of Merrifield Farm, was discovered to be on fire. A lad named Richard Underhill, who was seen near the spot, was apprehended, and fully committed for trial. He admitted setting the hay-mow on fire, for " a spree." He also stated his having set a hay-mow on fire, belonging to Mr. Vosper, which was destroyed nearly two years since.—Plymouth Journal. LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1838. Well—notwithstanding the semi-official declaration of Ministers, that Lord CHARLES FITZROY was not dis missed from the office of Vice-Chamberlain to her MA JESTY, for his righteous vote upon Sir GEORGE STRICK LAND'S motion for the abolition of negro appren ticeship, it now turns out that his Lordship is indeed the first " victim" to the honest indepen donee of his principles upon this most important question. Lord MELBOURNE, it appears, is not the penitent upon the Slave question which we were authorised to an nounce him—oa authority which we deemed, and which the country would deem, quite conclusive, with re spect to the intentions of the Cabinet of which his Lord ship is the head. The ist;)ble Viscount has discovered, no doubt, that the friends of the poor negroes are not so powerful—or rather not so vindictive against the official c hiefs of the Reform party—as at the first blush of the business he not unreasonably apprehended they would be after the provocation they had received. His Lordship's supporters out of doors, and above all, the liberal press, prayed them not to mix up the question of emancipation with the conduct of a Ministry wanting in the powoar rather than the will to realize the righteous hopes of the unconditional Abo litionists ; and, as a fitting reward for their zeal and credulity, the Cabinet now turns round and negatives its assertions by the dismissal of the only Member of• her MAJESTY'S household who had the nobleness to prefer a sense of duty to a love of office ! Even here, with inconceivable littleness, if not positive meanness, the mo tive for the dismissal of the Noble VICE-CHAMBER LAIN was sought to be concealed the moment it was ascertained that there was real danger in such an experiment upon the highly-wrought feelings of the country. What must be the inevitable result of such a fluctuating, time-serving, temporizing policy on the part of any Govern ment in this country in the nineteenth century ? We an swer, without hesitation—ultimately—loss of office, pre ceded by the more grievous loss of confidence and character• Why were not the honest Ministerial supporters of the Ballot dismissed? Why, indeed! But the spirit of agita tion only slcepeth for a while ; and when it awakes let re negades beware ! From a conversation which took place in the House of Lords last night, we learn that Lord BROUGHAM is ex tremely anxious to be present at the debate upon the second reading of the Irish Poor-law Bill. To accommo date the Noble and Learned Baron—though the second reading is fixed for Monday—the House will not go into Committee upon the Bill before Friday, when it is ex pected that Lord BROUGHAM shall have returned from Paris, so restored in health as to be able to give to the measure his undivided attention. Lord BROUGHAM has never made a secret of his fierce hostility to the principle of Poor-laws ; and therefore, we can disco ver no grounds for liberal exultation at the prospect of his appearance in Parliament, at a moment so important to the destiny of the poor of Ireland ; unless, indeed, recent events may have convinced the Noble and Learned Lord, in common with hundreds of others, that a Poor-law is de cidedly essential to the moral and physical improvement of that much-neglected portion of the British Empire. When, however, we see the necessity of Lord BROUGHAM'S presence argued by Lord LYNDHURST, and when we more over know that there already exists a combination of those Peers with whom Lord LYNDHURST is in the habit of voting, against the principle and the details of this Bill, we cannot dismiss certain strong misgivings which we have upon this subject. We are aware that this is not a ques tion of party in any shape, and we should deprecate any 'attempt to make it one ; but this does not blind us to the fact that many of the Irish Tory Peers are disposed so to regard it, in order to cover a neglect of the interests of the poor, by the guise of a want of confidence in the prac ticability of any measure sanctioned by the Govern ment. Nor are we ourselves so sure of the firmness of Lord MELBOURNE as not to dread the consequences of any serious opposition to this Bill, notwithstand ing the hopes held out to the distressed poor of Ire land by the present Cabinet ever since its appointment to o ffi ce . We therefore implore the friends and supporters of the Bill to bestir themselves in good earnest in its fa vour, before the close of the next week. The ruin of the measure in Committee has long since been resolved upon. The discussion on the Slave Trade in the House of Commons on Thursday was of too much importance to be passed over with ordinary comment. We have no hesita tion in naming it, as the most important and most interest ing which has taken place during the Session, on a subject in which Tory, Whig, and Radical, all agree ; and interest ing as were the debates raised by Lord BROUGHAM in the Upper House, they fell far short of this, because we now see that the Government, backed by the House of Com mons, is prepared not to remonstrate, and remonstrate in vain, as it has hitherto done, but, to use a homely phrase, take the law into their own hands. We made great sacri fices to our old friend and ally Portugal, and bound her by treaty to put down this horrible traffic ; yet though she had not a ship of war fit to encounter one of our frigates, and barely credit to raise a few thousand pounds to put down a partial civil war, she set treaties and the power of England alike at defiance. The voice of the people of this country, who had done so much fur the African race, was loud in denouncing this breach of faith—the feeling had become universal that it was the duty of the Government, even at the risk of war, to insist upon the fulfilment of the treaty— and that feeling has been unanimously responded to by the Government and the Commons of England. The words of Lord PALMERSTON were such as become the Minister of a great power engaged in the most holy cause—they were enthusiastically cheered by all sections of the House—they will be still more sheered by the friends of humanity through out this country, and in every quarter of the globe—because they throw a light over that dark gloom of despair which oppressed the minds of men who had for forty years strug gled to put an end to the Slave Trade, and who found, after all their exertions, and all tho sacrifices made, that it was carried on but last year to an extent as great as ever, and with a cruelty, compared with which the treatment of these unhappy beings at the commencement of the century may be described as refined humanity. Lord PALMERSTON said, " If Portugal continued to refuse to us that justice, the time must come when it would be incumbent on her MAJzszv's Government to appeal to Parliament for powers to do ourselves, and on our own authority, that which Por tugal refused to permit us to do in accordance with a solemn treaty." Now that the question is taken up in this way, we have no misgivings about the result ; war will not be necessary to make Spain or Portugal keep faith with England, and men of all parties will have the pride and satisfaction of reflect ing that, forgetting their political differences, they agreed, in 1834, in putting an end to slavery in every part of the British dominions, and, in 1838, joined cordially in a reso lution which will ultimately put an end to the slave trade throughout the world. The people of the United States of America, who boast of possessing the greatest possible freedom, will not be out-done in the cause of humanity by even the despotic Governments of Europe. They were the first to abolish the Slave trade, and we cannot for a moment suppose that they could long submit to the unenviable distinction of at the same time possessing more slaves than any other civilised State, and allowing their flag of liberty to be the only one polluted by the very outcasts of society—the traffickers in human blood. The " United Mercantile and Traveller's Association and Life Assurance Society," is one of those numerous, useful, and benevolent associations which demonstrate that the great mass of the people, when they have the means, are quite willing to provide against the casualties of life, as well as leave something behind them when life comes to an end. Only the very poor, who have the will,like the others,. but want the power to take such precautions, negleel them. We are willing to remind the world of these examples of pru dence and forethought in the bulk of the people, as they tend to make legislators less anxious to interfere with the people The Society we are noticing devotes one-fifth of its funds —which must be large, for its members are 24,000 — to purposes of benevolence, and the other four-fifths re vert to the subscribers. It is both a benevolent and a pro vident Institution. We heartily wish it success, as all such schemes go to diminish the sum of misery in society, and lessen the necessity for extending legislation. The import ance of it to persons engaged in mercantile pursuits must be evident ; and in a mercantile community like ours it will no doubt receive great support. Prodigious preparations are making for the en tertain ment which is to be given to-day to Sir ROBERT PEEL, at Merchant-tailors' Hall. Accommodation, we are assured by the polite historian of Tory doings, cannot be found for a tenth part of the fair dames who would gladly be present. Their wish in nowise surprizes us, for some of the most extrc;- ordinary things will probably be seen and heard that have been for a long time witnessed. The Chairman, who certainly has the merit of being consistent and persevering, in his selfish, coercive politics, refused to join Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration in 1834, because it was then ne cessary for Sir ROBERT to wear the mask of conformity, and trim his sails to the popular breeze. The Adminis tration, however, which he refused to join, is, according to the great body of the Tories, the brightest gem in Sir ROBERT'S glory, and it will be amusing to see the Noble Marquis in proposing the health of the chief guest, either joining the bulk of the Tories in now professing admiration for the Administration he then despised or deserting his party and wholly passing by Sir ROBERT'S grand achievement. He actually fought the whole House of Commons for six weeks single-mouthed, and scarcely a speaking Tory came to his aid. It must be also amusing to witness the Noble Marquis in a meeting of country gentlemen, defending Sir ROBERT'S determined opposition to the repeal of the Malt Tax, when he made his worthy supporters—the country gentlemen—vote, like Sir 11.0 GER GREISLEY, against their declarations at the hustings. The Noble Chairman must propose also the health of those now distinguished and leading Tories, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Sir FRANCIS BUR DETT, and Lord STANLEY; probably he will devote one bumper only to the trio, and his terms and gestures as he compliments the two formerly Radical Baronets, and the author of the Slave Apprenticeship Bill, must be one of the richest exhibitions which was ever represented on any stage. Such a collection of grave grown men as will there compliment each other this evening, on their various changes in politics, on the great good they have done for their country and themselves, on the extra ordinary success of their policy, which has neither enabled them to keep their estates nor to get into office—neither to preserve their ascendancy in private society nor in the country must be far more amusing to a reflecting spectator than the chattering and grimaces of the monkeys at the Zoological gardens to aholiday boy. The seriousness of the Augers,which, when they met, made Cicero laugh, must be nothing to the seriousness of a body of Gentlemen composed of KNATBHBULL and STANLEY, BURDETT and GRAHAM, INGLIS and HARDINGE, headed by the Marquis of CHAN- Dos, all met to compliment each other on their political consistency, while they do homage to the specious Baronet, who, in 1829, sold his principle and party, his Church and her College, to retain office under the warrior Duke. The intention of the Tories in granting the Catholic claims was to appease the Catholic leaders, and gain by their gratitude, separating them from the Whigs, a perpetual possession of power ; and now that Sir ROBERT has been for seven years exiled from office, he bitterly regrets that once in his life he did something approaching to justice and sound policy. His present re-union with the bigots and the ultras— making himself a poor tool of the selfish political economy of the landowners, and of the rapacious Tory priesthood, is a convincing proof not only of his regret, but of his pre sent engagement never to do what is right again. We have inserted in another column a letter from Mr. BENTLEY, the eminent publisher, which we think satisfac , torily explains a statement made by Mr. WAKLEY with respect to a work of Mr. BULWEIt'S. We have inserted elsewhere in this day's Sun, a list of the Division which took place on the Copyright Bill on Wednesday last. It is gratifying to find that none of the Cabinet are to be found in the minority, while the names of the CHANCELEOR of the EXCHEQUER and Lord Ho- WICK appear in the majority ; as does also that of Lord MORPETH. It is likewise to be observed, that three or four of the Ultra-Radicals, who make up in extravagance what they want in sense, voted against the Bill. We direct public attention to the proceedings wbish took place yesterday at the first general meeting of tho Directors and Shareholders of the Great Leinster and Munster Railway Company, held at the London Tavern Bishopsgate-street. Save the Poor-law Bill, no subject can be more important to the people of Ireland. We trust that a measure so beneficial will meet with every encou ragement. The Paris Journals of Thursday are filled with Wednes day's debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the Railway Bills. MM. DE LAMARTINE and LE GIRAUD spoke warmly in favour of leaving the construction of railways to the Government, under direction of the Minister of Public Works. On the other hand, MM. ARAGO and BILLAUT contended that such undertakings should be left to public companies, whose competition would lead to their chearer and better execution, besides giving proper encouragement to men of capital and enterprise. The trial of HUBERT and his accomplices was suspended on Thursday, owing to the sudden illness of GIRAUD, one of the accused. Fresh reinforcements of troops are moving towards the Belgian frontier. The Dowager Queen of NAPLES is about to be united in wedlock to a young Nobleman of that country. Her MAJESTY has arrived at the disc;eet age of forty-nine, in consequence of which her not over-gallant adorer, who is only twenty-eight, insists upon an equalization of their age in the shape of a dowry. His anxiety upon this score has delayed the nuptials much longer than is said to be agree able to the love-smitten Dowager. On the 20th ult. a grand ceremony in :ommemoration of the founding of the city of Rome, which has now stood 2,587 years, was performed in the Sabine Palace. Th 0 city itself was illuminated on the occasion. On the 26th the Grand Duke of TUSCANY visited his Holiness the POPE at the Vatican. We learn that the Infant Don'Francisco de Paula, with his family, ar. rived at Santander on the 4th ; they must have arrived at Bayonne on the 6th, in the evening, on board a steamboat, which was prepared ex. pressly for them. NAPLES, APRIL 16.—Some towns in Sicily intend to send addressee to the King, but they will not be allowed to have them presented by de.. putat ion appointed for that purpose.

TWO MORE TORIES OUSTED 1 And their Seats at PEEL'S BANQUET vacant 11 N.B.—Two Dinners to Let! NORWICH. The Committee met this morning at Eleven o'clock. Mr. TALBOT, in the absence of Mr. Thesiger, said the agents for 60 Sitting Members had complied with what they undertook to do yesterdars and had looked through the list of votes polled respectively for 01 Marquis of Douro and Mr. Scarlett. And, on an accurate investigs.' tion of the votes supposed to be bad, it was found that out of that Mir% ber they could not defend 21 votes given to the Marquis of Douro, anf_ 25 given to Mr. Scarlett. Of the 25 who polled for Mr. S., 2 votes WM' divided between that Gent. and Mr. Smith, and 2 others between Scarlett and Mr. Nurse. The consequence would be that 21 v°" . .; would be struck from the poll of the Marquis of . Douro, 25 from th at fr* Mr. Scarlett, 2 from that of Mr. Smith, and 2 from that of Mr, Norm The result would be that the numbers on the poll would stand thus For the Marquis of Douro 1842 , Mr. Smith lB4l Mr. Scarlett • lB4O Mr. Nurse 1829 Without going into the evidence, he was prepared to take the shoe .1 " r course of admitting these to be bad votes. f Che Mr. AUSTIN said the consequence of this was that the number 0- poll would be altered as Mr. Talbot had stated, and there remain nothing further to do, than to resolve that Mr. Scarlett was no t du elected, and that Mr. Smith was duly elected and ought to have bc cni returned. The room was then cleared for a short time, and on our re-adtn lsl ,, i rjj The CHAIRMAN read over the usual formal resolutions, after the Committee adjourned. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning minutes after 4 I Evening 47 minutes after 4 AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE of the CENTRAL NEGRO EMANCIPATION SOCIETY, held at No. 25, Tokenhouse.yard, the 11th day of May, 1838, It wu resolved unanimously, " That this Committee have learned with feelings of the deepest concern and regret, that the Right Honourable Lord Charles Fitzroy, whose conduct in voting in favour of Sir George Strickland's motion entitles him to the respect of every friend of humanity, should have been made a " victim " to his principles by being removed from the office of Vice• Chamberlain to Her Majesty. The Committee, whilst they feel bound thus to record their admiration of the high sense of moral principle, which has marked the conduct of Lord Charles Fitzroy, cannot but regard the act of the Government of the country on this occasion, as a renewed, melancholy proof, of their being swayed by views which must tend to destroy the confidence of the reflecting and virtuous portion of the commnnity in their fitness to wield the interests of a Christian empire."
